Fatal Accident
   We regret to state that a serious accident occurred yesterday, at the Macon & Western railroad depot. ????? negroes were engaged unloading a car of????? on the front, and one of the number ????? however, was loaded and went off, the ball taking effect in the head of the negro. He lingered for about an hour before he died. This should be a warning to all persons not to trifle with fire arms.
